I mean it does depend on the extent of the hack. But usually taking down the website, they don't take the databases or anything

Hacking a Social Media profile --> Tearing down a poster

Hacking a Website --> defacing a facade

If the blinds arent closed by or a window is left open by accident, some information could get out. If the doors arent locked, the attacker could get access to further information.

In an age where "willfully giving out your account password" is called hacking, here I'd call it tomato or tomato.

313 Team is an Arabic-interest hacker collective, aligned with Iran, Palestine and Iraq, they reportedly used a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against Truth Social.

The article seems pretty clear to me. Maybe it was updated?

Value gained, actually.

Its like watching two shitty people have an argument.

Equally upsetting. The site is truthsocial.com not truth.social

going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response

More likely, it makes the poor baby (-hands) cry and throw a tantrum. Being the malignant narcissist he is, he thinks the resources of the United States government are entirely at his disposal. With that in mind, he's absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his businesses.

Whether saner heads prevail, all we can do is hope.

His administration says damage to Teslas equates to terrorism. I don’t think it would go how you’re thinking.

With any other president I’d agree but this is Trump. A venal and petty man who wouldn’t think twice before using the country’s soldiers and even nuclear weapons to defend his sense of pride

nah it's a lazy fork so seeing how he chooses people (they're either cheap or friends of friends or both) "truth" can easily have a totally new security issue

maybe the server has a root password that's "trump454748$$$"

Is It Mastodon?! For real? Does it have ActivityPub enabled and all of that?

This is the saddest good news I've ever read.

We have a president who issues fascistic edicts from the toilet and then phrases them like a Karen in her first term on her HOA or Condo board.

I work in tech and I hate it when non-security people talk about it.

It's really painful to read about "a new hack that can affect billions of accounts" from a source, only to learn its some new social phishing method.
